Amazon.com Product Description
The Magnetix iCoaster takes construction toys to the next level. Using the immense power of magnetism, it allows kids to construct the very first magnetic roller coaster, complete with drops, jumps, and loops. Recommended for ages six and up, the iCoaster is a state-of-the-art multi-sensory experience that will completely enthrall kids and adults alike. 
An included Music Studio allow kids to put a soundtrack to their coaster. | 
Multiple loop-de-loops, trampolines, and magnetic track sections show the power of magnetistm. | An Exhilarating Ride
The iCoaster combines speed, high-tech design, and magnetism into one package. As with all Magnetix toys, the basis of the iCoaster is magnetic power. The coaster's "car" is a 15-millimeter metal ball -- or "rider ball" -- which is propelled along the track through magnetism. Kids will be amazed as the rider ball seemingly levitates on the track of the coaster at high speeds, and they can construct the iCoaster in up to 10 different ways. Because it uses magnetism, the iCoaster is also capable of some jaw-dropping stunts. The ball will go through loop-de-loops, trampolines, sheer drops, and corkscrews. It will even "float" across broken areas in the track. Perhaps the most impressive feature is the "magnetic elevator," which carries the ball up a shaft through magnetic power alone. If kids could board and ride this coaster, it would easily be the most thrilling ride ever made! Your Own Soundtrack
The iCoaster also comes with a Sound FX and Music Studio, which kids can use to put a soundtrack to their coaster. It features 4,000-plus distinct musical combinations, adding to the excitement with sound effects. The possibilities don't stop there: Kids can also plug an MP3 player into the music studio and choose the perfect song for the coaster. With this feature, kids can play everything from "Flight of the Valkyries" to the latest Billboard Top 40 hits. Crank up the volume for maximum excitement and adrenaline. Great Educational Benefit
Whether they are building a vehicle or a skyscraper, kids will be totally captivated by Magnetix, as they explore the power of magnetism and learn how it works. In addition to teaching them the basics of magnetism, Magnetix can also teach them other valuable things. It will go a long way in developing their creativity, by encouraging them to use their imagination to concoct new designs and structures. It will also refine their fine motor skills and hone their ability to focus and be attentive. In addition, Magnetix can boost their reasoning skills, as it requires them to follow directions and find unique ways to solve problems. About Magnetix

 An hour of my life I want back... August 12, 2008
After setting up the track multiple times because one piece fell, taking the entire thing with it, we weren't able to get the motion sensors to work. The ipod volume was way too soft, and only one ball of like 50 tries actually made it around the track successfully. The others flew off the side and went under the couch. My kids gave up long before I did. Now I want to launch it off the nearest tall building. I think that would be much more fun.

Bought this for my nephew for his 13th birthday per his request. I wasn't sure of this product, but he has loved playing with this for many hours. It has been very durable and earned the five star rating above. It arrived very quickly and in excellent condition. Very well done!
 If you follow the directions, it works... August 4, 2008
I actually like this toy, even though my 8 year old son needs help to follow the directions. if you actually make it following the directions carefully, it can support the balls and doesn't fall apart. That being said, the directions don't clearly list the symbols on the straight pieces you need can if you put the wrong one, it falls apart.
We have bought a kinex rollercoaster and a scorpion coaster. This is actually the easiest assembly of any we have tried.
Hours of fun! July 1, 2008
My son loves this toy. He spends Hours playing with it. I recommend it to anyone who has children that like to build.
Waste of Time and Money June 15, 2008
Cryptic instructions, a total pain in the... neck to set up, falls over if you look at it funny. What a friggin' joke this thing is!
